Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the prevalence of ankyloglossia in children from 5 to 13 years of age, taking into account the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the maxillofacial region. Functional tests are proposed for the study of language motility and their assessment is carried out on a 4-point system. The studies were carried out after obtaining the written consent of the parents, taking into account the recommendations of the Ethics Committee. It is established that the prevalence of ankyloglossia is (6,96 ± 0,053) % of the number of examined children in Volgograd. It was noted that almost all the examined had impaired motor function of the tongue, requiring surgical treatment.

Keywords
